Criminal Background Check

To bolster the public’s continuing trust in the medical profession, enhance the safety and well being of patients, ascertain the ability of accepted applicants and enrolled medical students to eventually become licensed as physicians and to minimize the liability of medical schools and their affiliated clinical facilities, the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) recommends that all U.S. medical schools obtain a national background check on applicants upon their initial conditional acceptance to medical school. A copy of the Medical College of Georgia's Criminal Record Check policy and procedure can found at http://www.mcg.edu/som/admit/documents/pdfs/CriminalBackgroundpolicy.pdf
